King Elementary School

My son came to this school from Riverdahl and Kishwaukee Elementary schools. I was so pleased to see how friendly the staff was and how protected the school is. My son is so happy everday after school and tells me about all of his friends and teachers. His kindergarten teacher was fantastic and he is now in first grade and is doing well!

My children are past students. I sent 2 of my children there from kindergarten to 4th grade. The teachers were fantastic, but each year, the overall academic level was getting lower and lower. The expectations of each pupil were falling. My children (and I) found it less and less challenging for learning and more challenging for other aspects, like manners of other children and the school wanting to get Title I help, encouraging parents to sign up for free lunches. I felt the school was going in the wrong direction. It's been 2 years since my children have been there, I wonder if it's improved at all.
